Here's a photo Mary Sue Ittner took of Lupine, Goldfields, Lasthenia californica, and Johnny Tuck, Triphysaria eriantha, all native wildflowers.
Peter Baye found Hoffman's Jewelflower, Streptanthus glandulosus.
And Blue-eyed Mary, Collinsia sparsiflora,
Many, many more species are blooming now, a feast for the eyes.
Thanks to Mary Sue and Peter for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Beautiful sunny, breezy, warm weather today!
Peter Baye found some lovely wildflowers in the Annapolis area. The first is Bristly Jewelflower, Streptanthus glandulosus. It's a member of the mustard family
Next is the lovely Bird's-Eye Gilia, Gilia tricolor.
Bird's-Eye Gilias are members of the Phlox family. Both of these flowers are California natives. They should never be picked - just enjoy their loveliness in the wild.
Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
